The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1824 by Alexander Reid, Macallan was one of the first distilleries in Scotland to be legally licensed. Located in Speyside, it has built a global reputation for its uncompromising dedication to wood management and exceptional sherry seasoning.

How it is made

The Macallan Estate is situated on a plateau above the River Spey in northeast Scotland, where the distillery & rickhouse utilize famously small copper pot stills. This unique double cask expression is defined by the marriage of hand-selected sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks.
